Talk Amongst Yourselves

This is where Kotaku readers go to talk about the stuff we’re not already posting about. Think of it as the official unofficial Kotaku community forum.

And for the hawk-eyed, yes, it’s changeover time again! Mark is still way too cool for us. The last email I got from him said something along the lines of “Pfft… I can MAKE people now!” So I’ll be covering for the next two weeks, after which we’ll return you to your regularly scheduled programming. Shout out loud if I miss anything!

I would have to say Worship Music is their best studio effort since Spreading The Disease. God damn Joey Belladonna has an amazing voice. Wish I was going to Soundwave next month, i'd love to see them!

If you lurk the forums someone usually finds them in the back end of the website, whilst never being a final copy, last years changed ON the day for Brisbane, I was not impressed. I was hoping to see Wednesday 13 at 3.30pm but he got changed to 8pm (apparently his manager demanded so), which was right in the middle of Slipknots set which I wasn't moving from because, I had an awesome spot & I wanted to see System of a Down also lol.

I also haven't read it /o\ I bought it for alpha instead.
i can't really suggest things.
Have you considered continuing the evil bit?
how about
A fine line?
A forgiving evil?
a painful evil?
A wolf in sheeps clothing?
The end that wasn't.

Two volumes, huh? How do five get spliced into two? Would it be volume 1 (books 1,2,3) and volume 2 (books 4, 5, also you should totally put in that extra bit you had if it's going to turn out this way)?

I wish I could actually suggest a name for you, but titling my own works has always been one of my greatest problems. D:

To be honest though, I don't like Peaceful Tomorrows as a name. Disregarding the 9/11 stuff, it just isn't a catchy title to me, but it's hard to describe why. I'll wrack my brain all day and see if I can think of anything interesting!

Morning. Did a big clean up of my room yesterday. Part of this involved disassembling my bed and removing my mattress, as both of those were wrecked. For the meantime I've grabbed a couple spare mattresses we had, put one ontop of the other and am sleeping on that. Only problem is my feet go off the end. Still better than my old mattress though, which sucked and caused back pain.

Mornin' TAY!
Back at work, finally, and it seems as though there's nothing happening till the end of this week. Totally worth coming back!
Had a good start to the day, at least. For the millionth time I was overtaken by a speeding motorbike who then ran down the shoulder to cut in front of about 15 cars waiting at a red light. When I went past the lights he was being given a ticket by an unmarked police car that was sitting at the front of the queue... :D

However, I won't post what I've select here, so that we don't ruin the final surprise. Sorry @strange, we're not going to get the giant plush AT-AT because the shipping cost is prohibitive. Probably because it's giant.

So can you please all send me an email (my batguy.kotaku gmail will work just fine) and I'll give you updates on what we've ordered and my bank details for you to deposit some cash. I know you're all generous people, but please, no more than $10 or so. If you want to spend more than that, I'd recommend just order something yourself!

Last night, after playing DOTA2 (btw, 5 vs 5 TAYbie battles are great fun, aside from the losing bit) I tried to work out what I did all weekend.

Then I looked at the hours played in Civ 5. It went from 2 hour to 20 hours. That's what happened to my weekend.

Blaghs and I did a co-op game where we went for a Science victory. It's kind of unfair that when two players are on a team, they share research. Then after a couple of derpy games that I didn't have a real plan for, I went for a Cultural victory.

That was pretty fun. Spent most of the time dealing with Napoleon, who would declare war on me, try to take one of my cities and then offer a peace treaty where I gave up that same city. I fought back and ended up being given two of his cities on two separate occasions.

Of course, the best bit was after I had won. I kept playing and decided to nuke Paris. Four times. From the first city that he gave me.

Sorry to all the Melbourne TAYbies as I couldn't attend the Melb meat, but dayum this weekend was a good one for me :)

I got to meet my brand new nephew/godson, I got to hold him for a bit but I was honestly pooping bricks that I would drop him, luckily for us both I did not and he is one happy and healthy little baby. I'm not the biggest fan of babbies but this one gets away with it because he's family.

There was also fishing with dad (We caught nothing, the lady however caught nine fish, she's a natural :D), catching up with a good friend who I haven't seen in ages, eating epic steaks, drinking awesome cocktails, French Toast, Ditching Optus for Telstra (yay good reception again, and cheaper plan too), Chorizo and shrimp Gumbo, and even playing a little bit of Dark Souls (visited Ash Lake for the first time, dayum) and Walking Dead (starting over, picked Doug over Carly, again Dayum).

So yeah this weekend was tops, exactly what I needed :D

Oh and also I ordered Anarchy Reigns from Ozgameshop adding a $10 off voucher, so I ended up paying $17 for it. That is a goddamn win right there as well :)

Hope you all had a good weekend. I farewelled some friends who are moving to Canberra Sat night and then picked up my parents from the airport Sunday morning. Upon arriving home we noticed an odd smell, which quickly turned in to abject disgust once we opened their 50+ year old chest freezer. Turns out at some point in the last two weeks it finally gave up the ghost, leaving a rotting cabinet of meat.

Which now I've written it sounds somewhat poetic.

My dad and I managed to get it out to the middle of a paddock where it can air out before disposal, and we've managed to remove most of the smell from the house. It was the most disgusting thing I've ever smelt.

So why is this "cronotriggr" guy on my WiiU? Well, he's tied to my old UK Club Nintendo account. he also has the ability to, after a quick change of region in the settings, access the UK eShop and buy games unavailable to Aussies like Trine 2 or Mighty Switch Force.

CRAZY!

You see, Doc_What can't do that because Doc's Nintendo ID is tied to an aussie Club Nintendo account. That means if I switch the region, Doc can't go online. At all.

I haven't tried purchasing any games yet, but I don't see there being an issue. I will report back and let anyone who's interested know if it works. I'll also write up a quick article on Potaku at some point so everyone can get their hands on games delayed or not released in Aus.

That's probably true, though. Aliens was Ripley's story and Newt a substitute for the daughter she lost while in stasis. Clem could be seen as the star of The Walking Dead with more meaningful screen time. :D
